The Bottom Line

The DNC committee rejected a resolution condemning the pro-Israel Aipac lobby, a setback for progressives.

AI Summary

The Democratic National Committee’s resolutions committee voted on Thursday to reject a resolution condemning the influence of the pro-Israel Aipac lobby. This decision is considered a setback for progressives within the Democratic party who are critical of Aipac's involvement in Democratic primary contests. The committee also deferred two other related measures, indicating the Democratic establishment's reluctance to confront the group directly regarding its influence on Israel policy. This action highlights ongoing internal divisions within the Democratic Party concerning its approach to Israel and the role of pro-Israel lobbying groups.
